Doug Hartley, l, along with Jessica Tipple, c, and Janice Cole walked for 12 hours straight Wednesday to raise money and bring awareness to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. This is the third year Hartley has walked and his fifth being involved with LLS. His goal this year is to collect $5,000. His involvement started by his Starfire stores selling balloons for $1. They have raised tens of thousands of dollars over the five years doing this. This year, the stores' goal is $15,000. To donate, one may stop by any Starfire or visit online at http://tinyurl.com/12hourwalktokill.
